Now Collecting SSV Partner Data!
SSV Partners are now able to upload their 2009 energy and water use data to Sustainable Silicon Valley's regional registry using a new software tool powered by Hara. Partner data is collected once a year in spring, the results of which are aggregated and used as the basis for the SSV Annual Progress Report. By measuring and highlighting the collective efforts of SSV partner organizations, we are able to track progress towards reducing emissions in the Silicon Valley region.

Where Does This Information Go?
Once collected, the data is aggregated and published in an Annual Progress Report. This important data helps us assess our progress as a region on the aggressive goals we have set for ourselves. SSV and its partners have made a commitment to reducing our CO2 emissions by 20% from 1990 levels by 2010. This is no small feat for a region that continues to experience explosive growth year after year. The 2009 Annual Progress Report highlights the aggregated performance of our partner organizations and compares it to the actual energy use of the region as a whole. By acting as a regional registry and aggregating data, SSV is able to track and communicate overall results to business, elected and community leaders and to be part of a process of setting realistic targets.
